All set for tomorrow night. Enjoy!
In game comments in here...
Umpires need to pay more attention to marking contests... A lot of holding and tunnelling going on. Bontempelli gets a long time to get rid of the pill when tackled.
Gees the doggies get looked after.... We can't beat 21.
We seem to be slipping over a bit when taking of for a marking contest. Maybe I’ve only seen it three times, but each of them have hurt us.
Bad kicking keeping us in it.

Yep we are getting a bad run already.
Apparently Gowers wasn't good enough
SPS going at half rat power.... Needs to go a million times harder.

Is he out there is he?
O'shea is a deadest spud.... Couldn't kick a footy into the sea from the beach. Useless.
Just want the umpiring to be fair and even.
We have spoken about this for years now, are we the only ones to see the lopsided whistle blowing.

Goal to Wright should have been throw against Charlie.

You can visit the supporter forums of every AFL club - therein you will find a plethora of individuals who swear black and blue that their club gets the rawest of deals from the AFL, the umps, the universe..........

90% of their handballs are throws

Cry me a river.
I've had mates who barrack for other teams watch our games and even they can't believe how hard done by we are.

Probably just telling you what you want to hear.
Watch the game Paul. Frees to one side aren't paid to the other. That's a problem.

You should probably report this institutionalised bias to the club. It seems as though they've missed it for years. They should take it up with the AFL. It cannot continue any longer.

This..... thanks Prof
SPS.... Bad, bad turnover kick.
No score review?
Another soft free, another missed free...
And a ducked up goal umpiring call. This game is rigged.
Gees we carry some passengers.... Kennedy s l o W, Mullet missing targets.... O'Shea shudder.... Forwards slack
We make some terrible decisions
Feck me we a dumb
90% of their handballs are throws
Righto then
Cry me a river.

Supporters of "crap" teams always blame the umps. Look in the mirror I say.
Is Kennedy still injured? Surely he can't be this slow?

What am I looking for? ???
Another soft free, another missed free...
And a ducked up goal umpiring call. This game is rigged.
The tackle by Simmo that stuck way after the disposal should have been a free.
Im calling it, its over. 0-6
Lipinsku gets a free for something missed twice to SPS... Then Jones gets pinged...for that???????
And people tell me it's a level playing field... Feck off.
Im calling it, its over. 0-6
I'm going to Adelaide next week to see us go 0-7.
How is McKay supposed to get rid of it?
that kennedy gets slower each game he plays
mullet and oshea are spuds - enjoy afl footy and the free gear guys
SPS needs to get his hands dirty
SOS is going backwards
i cant see us winning a game anytime soon
How is McKay supposed to get rid of it?
Let it go Professor, just get score updates. Need to look after your ticket mate.
How is McKay supposed to get rid of it?
He took on the tackler, youre gone when you do that.
I’m sorry but the holding the ball rule is not being paid evenly. Yes we’ve got a few to advantage that shouldn’t have been paid, but holding the ball has cost us goals. Rubbish.
Head hit on Dow not paid.
Clear mark to Levi not paid.
These umpires should be horse whipped, ducking cheats.

Every team you support is unfairly treated. The Victorian cricket team gets shafted by the NSW mafia, the Australian cricket team is dudded by the Saffies and the authorities, Carlton is hated by the AFL, the media, the umps etc. Maybe you should try supporting different teams.
Their hand ball is killing us. The get it out via hand into space so quick.
Gowers just did the exact same thing as Jones. Holding it? Nope, ball up.
We're clearly not playing well but the umpiring is killing any chance of being competitive
Paul, are you watching the game you troll?
Coaching 101...Bontempelli needs a man, you cannot play Cripps off him and allow Bontempelli to run around by himself...
Their hand ball is killing us. The get it out via hand into space so quick.
And our response is t stand still and guard space. We give the opposition mids and half backs too much room and take too long to respond.
Same in reverse going forward, everyone finds their position to stand in and waits for the ball to come their way.
Getting chances near goal but mucking them up. We probably should be at least closer.
If we play Casboult, C.Curnow and McKay do we really need to play SOS? We need a smaller defence. We have no pace to set anything up out of there. We have no idea how to run and spread when we have it. We don't work hard enough to keep the ball in our 50, the essence of today's game.
Agree we're being dudded by the umpires.
Boy have the players been disappointing though. Our continued mediocrity is breaking my spirit.
Im calling it, its over. 0-6
Not looking good for sure. We need to get our act together pdq in the 3Q or we'll be in for a flogging.
Paul, are you watching the game you troll?
I have two options as far as time wasting goes - watching the game, or pointing out the bleeding obvious to you.
I choose the latter.
If I see SPS glory towning running into open space and not shepherding one more time, I'll march down to etihad and drag him off the park myself.
>:(

They set up from defence with their run and carry. We have to work harder to keep the ball in our 50.

Agreed, but we don't have any small defenders to bring in at the moment.

Cant play Cripps on Bontempelli, the latter needs a dedicated stopper...

Agree. I was hoping we could have broken up that run but we're failing badly atm.

Yeah, I'm afraid it's VFL time for SPS, as well as O'Shea and SoJ, although SoJ is giving us more than McKay!
Boring game, pity our talls can't hold some marks, would be close.
Good half by Meat though, just needs to keep moving.
Positives
Cripps
Fisher should be extended to 2050 :D
Daisy having a good game.
Phillips is winning the ruck clearly
I'm liking the way McKay moves despite not a lot of scoreboard impact.
Negatives
Younguns Dow and O'Brien having little impact
Jack might need another spell

OShea has been ok IMO and keeping his man quiet...
Kennedy not fit, at all. O'Shea - crazy to pick him this week.
We drop two guys who actually have some toe against a team full of toe....
our forward line is full of snails, our backline little better.
Where is the ticker with these blokes.....?
They're happy to play at 50% seemingly.

And Mullet. The worst 'good kick' I've ever seen.
OShea has been ok IMO and keeping his man quiet...
At least two Dogs goals are the result of his poor foot skills across the center of the ground.
I'm not talking about missing 40m passes, these have been barely legal kick length and failed to hit the target.

McKay's been more up the ground with Charlie and Levi deeper.
And we've reverted to that nothing backwards, sideays, backwards, sideways again, then turnover strategy.
Is that the best BB can come up with against a very ordinary side?
McKay's been more up the ground with Charlie and Levi deeper.
He's playing indoors, in perfect conditions for 200cm players, failing to clunk the ball against players 10cm or 15cm shorter. This was his VFL form, now we get to see the reality!
Our team structure is $hit. We'll never get any run out of that side. We need new selectors,
2nd half about to get ugly folks....not in the same class as this mob....does Samo reckon he’s safe in this side??? Would like some effort from him...has been a downhill skier all year
What is SPS’s role?? What is he SUPPOSED to be doing???
What is SPS’s role?? What is he SUPPOSED to be doing???
Making up the numbers.
We could be alot closer if we didn't phuk up so much for absolutely no reason.
Samo running round like a headless chook, watching the ball go backwards and forwards over his head ...having no impact at all
They set up from defence with their run and carry. We have to work harder to keep the ball in our 50.
Garlett and Lamb would have been handy lol.
Samo...see Jack = Treacle
SPS just cost us that goal by giving up when he thought he should have been given a free. Stopped playing and missed a chance for a tackle. What. The. Feck. ????♂️
Mullet and O'shea are auditioning for the comedy festival.
Rowe showing the mids how to chase and tackle (but not kick)
Too many non contributors. I am trying to be really patient with SPS but he is making it farken hard.
We are so good at manufacturing stupidity.
You could drive a fleet of tanks through our forward press.
We literally have no idea how to play the modern game of football.
We are that soft Daniel has removed his helmet!
When Weitering come back into this side, keep in mind the chaos that surrounds him! ;)
We're making mistakes which would embarrass suburban footballers.

We are suburban footballers, sub - urban! ;D
Fisher Cripps Phillips and Cas at a pinch, the rest should hand back their match payments.

have to add Daisy to that as well

Could be Meats best game this!
We getting in and having a crack but we just have no fkn idea.
FMD, these kents do not want to defeat us, and we still can't win!
How fecking bad are we?
SPS. Worst game yet?
We literally have no idea how to play the modern game of football.
The game has passed Bolton by.
Any umpire bashers want to point out Dow three rows back on no OOTF.
We have changed every player, changed every coach.
What remains the same?
Same supporters watching the same crap football for almost 2 decades.
Are SPS and Kennedy fit!!! Kennedy looks slow and SPS looks nothing like he did last year
Any umpire bashers want to point out Dow three rows back on no OOTF.
Dunno, couldn't tell on the TV.
This game is frustrating. We actually could've been right in this if we had any sort of clue what to do out there.
Amazingly still in it - just!
We'll lose this simply because too many of our blokes either cant or wont work hard enough. Same old story, too much left to too few.
Our skills & decision making still deplorable.....I’m sick of saying that each frickin’ week.....
Fish showing a bit.
The Fish and Cripps™ combo could be something.
Marchbank, Plowman, O’Shea, SPS, Mullet, Silvagni....there’s a quarter of our team giving SFA.

Made a funny!..lol.
This game is frustrating. We actually could've been right in this if we had any sort of clue what to do out there.
Agreed.
With a team like the bulldogs who flick the ball around in tight so much it is important that the umpires are onto the holding the ball and throwing. Unfortunately that isn't the case tonight so we've been pushing dung up a hill. Then we shoot ourselves in the foot routinely and give away silly goals.
All frustrating.. to say the least.

Fish showing a hell of a lot if your ask me. I'd give him BOG for us.

Glass half full bloke aren't you Cookie?

Love it.
Only good play tonight. Shame it's word play
Are SPS and Kennedy fit!!! Kennedy looks slow and SPS looks nothing like he did last year
Agree. Good job Daisy and Kerridge are going ok. We desperately need SPS, Kennedy, Dow and O'Brien to fire up.

Fish and Chips.....with Sauce (Phillips)

I had to look twice. Nice work.
Rebuilding or not 6 goals in 90 mins of footy is sh1t to watch
Another spoon coming our way sadly.

Sadly i agree don't know where are going to get a win
At the MCG.
Etihad seems pretty much like an away venue for us.
How many time have our talls spoiled each other tonight?
The way is going we won’t win a game for the season
The worst job in the country would be the person at carlton in charge of twitter feeds on game day.
We have 11 players with 10 disposals or less
If we could conjure up 2 goals in a row now it would be real interesting.

Noticed the same. Bizarre at professional level.
we wouldn't beat many VFL sides on current efforts....

Now that could be a challenge

Hopefully we would beat the Northern Blues!!!
Ridiculously we've actually had our chances. That miss my Charlie was simply awful and would've given us a real shot
Old blokes are cooking it, Simmo is done, his effort is always there but the results are hardly ever acceptable!
If I had to flip a coin between him a Daisy I'd take Daisy at the moment.

How are you going to colour this one BB?

This is it, they don't believe that they can win.
3rd year coach breaks 100 odd year record?
Still keeps job.
Bulldogs beat Cripps (& the rest known as the Carlton Circus)
I HATE CAMERON LING SO MUCH. NO ONE ON THIS EARTH THAT BOTHERS ME MORE THAN THAT CARLTON HATING MOTHER screwER!!

Amen
If not for our ridiculous amount of unforced error we'd have won comfortably.
I'd be sacking the skills coaches, you just cannot have AFL players missing so many easy targets by hand and foot. Handballs behind the running player, kicks favouring defenders, basics fail, basics fail, basics fail.
I'm not talking about in the heat, I'm talking about the sh1t you see in the open and from setups or free kicks.

That's why they train so hard???????
We have no idea how to play the modern game, we pick the wrong side to actually play the modern game. Selections are hopeless. How do you get any run out of defence when everyone is 6 foot 900 inches tall.
Very disappointed to lose that one. Bedtime.

yes, selections by MC were astonishing again....

I think we would've too. Never have a seen a side be their own worst enemy. I loved the look of Bevo $hitting himself when Charlie took that mark. Pity he shanked it big time.

I agree, but who can we play in the backline right now to get that run we desperately need?
yes, selections by MC were astonishing again....
Yes! Most sides are going shorter and we're going in reverse. Run out of half back is so important to the modern game and what are the types we select?
It's easy to ask for run, but we had 200cm types dropping uncontested / unpressured marks inside D50 to gift the dogs goals.
I agree, but who can we play in the backline right now to get that run we desperately need?
Cunningham to start with. Why is O'Shea and Mullet in ahead of him.
Kennedy was clearly unfit too.
Stupid, stupid, stupid....
Who the f... is on the MC other than BB? Macca?

SOS, Barker, Bruce, Teague, Amos
I counted three goals from spoils by Rowe, Plowman and Marchbank over Jones, straight to doggie forwards. Add to that the point that was given as a goal, we win...........
I love barracking for a Record Breaking team.
Been breaking records for the last 18 years. ::)
Kennedy was clearly unfit too.
Stupid, stupid, stupid....

Pains me to say it but Matt Shaw has to play in front of Kennedy, he just isnt fit, cant chase ,and a liability, lucky it was played at Etihad..
JackS also cant be played vs quick rebounding teams who move the footy well, why Garlett and Lamb were dropped is mystifying and why we went with a extra taller defender in OShea was crazy.
Marchbank also looks unfit or not match fit and was caught all the time with the ball...
O'Shea and Mullet need to be dropped next week
Cunningham to start with. Why is O'Shea and Mullet in ahead of him.
Can't argue with that but he's still quite green himself. Better to develop him and get game time into him I guess.
Could Garlett go back with him? We clearly need more than 1 running option off half back, but unless we abandon the stop-start kick backwards game it could be pointless to have any runners come in.
